CHAMPIONS Dublin will open the defense of their TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Senior Championship crown with a duel against Tyrone.
The confirmed games for the 2021 campaign have also seen the 2020 runner-up in Cork compete against last year’s All-Ireland Intermediate champion Meath in the opening round.
The 2021 TG4 All-Ireland Ladies Football Championships kick off July 10th with Dublin in Group C alongside Tyrone and Waterford.
Cork was drawn against Munster rivals Tipperary and Meath in Group B, while Group A, the only four-team group that includes Ulster teams Armagh, Cavan and Monaghan, and Mayo.
The opening games in this group will meet Armagh, the 2020 semi-finalist, against Monaghan, while Cavan will face Mayo.
In group D, the opening game of a group with a real Gaeltacht feeling is the clash of Galway and Kerry, with Donegal also in this pool.
Two teams will emerge from each group to play the quarter-finals on the bank holiday weekend in August; the semi-finals are scheduled for August 14th and the final will be played on Sunday, September 5th at Croke Park.
The TG4 Intermediate Championship will follow a similar pattern, with two teams from each group qualifying for the quarter-finals.
Westmeath, the 2020 runner-up looking to move up to the senior ranks, begins its campaign against fellow Leinster Longford in Group 1, with Wexford facing Sligo in that four-team group.
Elsewhere, the 2020 Junior Champions Fermanagh will face Leitrim in their Group 2 opening game, with Group 3 opening Roscommon versus Kildare, with Offaly going up against Group 4.
In a five-person TG4 All-Ireland Junior Championship group, four teams from the round robin phase qualify to contest the semi-finals.
Antrim will face Derry in an Ulster derby on the opening weekend, with Limerick facing 2020 runner-up Wicklow. Carlow has a bye in round 1 before starting their campaign with a game against Antrim in round 2.
